Re: loss of text in cells

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm afraid that with out a more explicit description there isn't much to go
on. Please provide as much detail as you can about the nature of the
content, how you're "populating text" [typing, pasting???].

Can you be more precise about what "a certain number of characters" is?

What do you mean by "tried reformatting" [reformatting _what_ in what way as
opposed to what original type of "formatting"?].

What file format are you saving in - description as well as exact extension?

Make sure you have Office fully updated (12.1.5 is the current build) & that
you've repaired disk permissions after any updates.

It's also possible that Excel isn't where the problem lies. The program
calls the save operation but the OS is responsible for writing the file to
disk... Excel simply says "OK Leopard, tuck this stuff away please". If OS X
isn't writing the changes there may be a need to look in that direction.
What type of device are you saving to - primary HD, external drive, network
device??? Are you having any similar issues with other programs?

Sorry, I did not make it clear that I had already looked at the formula bar
and the text truly did disappear. It is not in the formula bar at all. I
already thought of that, but thanks for your input.
Any other ideas?
